Digital entertainment and connectivity solutions provider, Moment, is partnering with Garuda Indonesia to spearhead the airline’s expansion of its wireless Inflight Entertainment (W-IFE) capabilities.
Under a three-year agreement, Moment has deployed 64 Flymingo Box units to enhance the digital onboard experience for Indonesia’s national carrier.
The deployment focuses on 15 selected aircraft within Garuda Indonesia’s fleet, specifically the Boeing 737-800 NG, Boeing 737-8, and Airbus A330-900neo.
The Flymingo Box is a compact and autonomous solution that enables a seamless Bring Your Own Device (BYOD) experience, allowing passengers to stream a vast library of entertainment directly to their personal smartphones, tablets, or laptops.
According to Moment, each Flymingo Box is designed with a battery life of 12 to 14 hours and can accommodate up to 100 devices concurrently during a flight, with two devices typically deployed per aircraft.
Tanguy Morel, chief executive and co-founder of Moment, said: “By supporting Garuda with 64 Flymingo Boxes, we are helping them rapidly expand their wireless IFE project, ensuring a modernized service that aligns with the expectations of today’s tech-savvy travellers who prefer using their own devices for a personalised viewing experience.”
Moment said it has partnered with Anuvu to deliver a diverse and premium entertainment catalogue, featuring the latest Hollywood new releases and blockbusters, as well as high-quality music albums and podcasts.
According to Moment, the Flymingo Box introduces innovative features not currently available on the airline’s traditional seatback IFE, including e-reading materials and vertical dramas, a short-form series format optimised for smartphone viewing.
To ensure the experience remains fresh and engaging for frequent flyers, Moment says the entire content library is refreshed every two months.
